From watching TV and seeing the defendent fall asleep on occasion, I kept wondering is this a strategy, or is he so unconcerned with the outcome he is not drinking enough coffee to stay awake. In a complex trial is is certainly difficult to keep track of everything if you are not wide awake.
I saw a presentation of the instructions to the Jury, and while complex, they seemed clear as presented. I presume the defendent was in the room when these instructions were given. They included several dozen specific charges, and 3 different aspects that needed to be considered while making conclusions about guilt or innocence regarding each of these charges. I’m sure the defendent’s lawyers took extensive notes, or received transcripts of these instructions and can make them clear to their client. The jury has been asking the Judge to clarify some of these items.
This wasn’t on TV.
How did you see it? The kangaroo court prohibited TV cameras in court, IIRC.
???
Maybe you watched “the defendant” fall asleep, and, the judge give his instructions “presentation” in your sleep. Or, maybe it was an old Perry Mason episode.
As others have said, this sham show hasn’t been televised.
🙃
Or, maybe you’re a juror. 🤔🙃
